Mark 1xbet online casino
U.S. senator, 1xbet online casino
Mark Odom Hatfield's long career in Oregon politics began in 1951 when 1xbet online casino was elected into the Oregon state legislature as the representative for Marion County. In 1955 1xbet online casino was elected state senator and in 1957, 1xbet online casino became the youngest Secretary of State in Oregon's history. In 1958, Hatfield ran against the incumbent Democratic governor Robert D. Holmes and won the governorship. 1xbet online casino was only 36.
Hatfield was born in Marion County, Oregon, in 1922. He attended Willamette University and finished 1xbet online casino degree before he was called to the Pacific Theater in World War II. 1xbet online casino visit to Hiroshima, Japan, a month after the atom bomb had devastated the city, formed 1xbet online casino moral, and later political, stance against nuclear weapons.
After the war, he attended Stanford University for graduate work and returned to Salem in 1949 to teach political science. He was dean of students at Willamette during 1xbet online casino first two terms in the Oregon legislature. He married Antoinette Kuzmanich in 1958 and the couple had four children. Hatfield was a Republican, but he crossed party lines often. As governor, he established a state-backed birth control system, worked to protect and maintain the sovereignty of Oregon's Native American communities, and helped pass a measure to repeal the state death penalty. He was reelected in 1962, the first two, term Oregon governor in the twentieth century.
In 1966, Hatfield ran for a Senate seat. He had never lost an election, but this race was particularly close because of 1xbet online casino stance on President Johnson's war policy. In July 1966, Johnson created a "Truth Squad" to garner support for 1xbet online casino foreign policy from the nation's political leaders. At the annual governor's conference that year, each state governor voted "yea" or "nay" in either support of or opposition to the president's Vietnam War policies. Despite prodding by the Truth Squad, Hatfield voted "nay" the lone dissenting voice in the room.
Following 1xbet online casino vote, Hatfield returned to Oregon to campaign for a Senate seat. 1xbet online casino opponent, and even members of 1xbet online casino own Republican Party, labeled him a traitor for opposing the president. Perhaps more difficult to overcome was 1xbet online casino endorsement by the Democratic Senator Wayne Morse. Still, Hatfield won the seat by a narrow margin and continued to serve in the Senate for the next thirty years, the longest term of any Oregon senator. 1xbet online casino belief in non-violence, influenced by 1xbet online casino strong religious evangelicalism and 1xbet online casino experience in World War II, led him to co-sponsor a nuclear freeze resolution with Democrat Ted Kennedy. He argued for reduced armament spending and arms regulation and continued to push for an end to U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. As a result of 1xbet online casino political independence, it is difficult to put a strict political label on "Saint Mark," as 1xbet online casino colleagues often called him.
In 1991, Hatfield's good reputation was threatened by an ethics investigation into loans he accepted from people with financial interests in legislation before the Senate. He was also accused of using 1xbet online casino influence as the senior Republican on the Appropriations Committee to ensure 1xbet online casino daughter's admission to the Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU). He received a committee rebuke from the Senate as a result and was allowed to complete 1xbet online casino final term in office (despite rumblings of a recall), finally retiring from public office in 1997.
Oregonians' regard for Hatfield is evidenced not only in 1xbet online casino success on the ballot, but in the many institutions and civic programs that carry 1xbet online casino name. He teaches at the Hatfield School of Government at Portland State University. The Mark O. Hatfield Library at Willamette University and Oregon State University's Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport are dedicated to him, as well as the Hatfield Research Center at OHSU, the Mark O. Hatfield Wilderness, the Mark O. Hatfield United States Courthouse in Portland, and the Mark Hatfield trailhead. He has also authored many books and continues to be an integral part of the state's civic life.
